The Passover Conspiracy in the Success Manual of Moses
Neville Goddard learned Kabbalah from a fellow named Abdullah. Abdullah taught the Bible as a success manual. Near the end of the Great Depression, Neville was visited in New York by his parents. He had been born and raised in Barbados, and after his parents' departure he had an overwhelming desire to return to the island for a visit. Abdullah said to him regarding his desire, "You are in Barbados!" Neville asked incredulously, "I am in Barbados?" "Yes," said Abdullah, "You are in Barbados, and you went there first class!"
At the time, Neville had no money. Not just "no money," but no money. He was a dancer, and who would hire a dancer during the Great Depression? Abdullah told Neville to believe he was in Barbados, to walk the streets of New York as if they were the dirt paths of the island, and to sleep at night feeling he was in his bed in his parent's house. By this exercise Neville learned causative imagining, because it worked.
Causative imagining is the heritage of the Jews, and through them the whole world. It is what Moses in the Pentateuch was talking about. It is where Jethro, God's blessings and increase, comes from. The Pentateuch is usually read as the history of the world from the beginning of the universe to the arrival of the Jews at the river Jordan, the border of Canaan. But its author, Moses, starts in the book of Exodus talking about causative imagining. Moses explains in Genesis what he learned in Exodus. A person cannot understand what Moses meant in Genesis if he or she does not first grasp what Moses experienced in Exodus.
The books are autobiographical and observational. They are almost entirely psychological. You have to understand that the characters are Moses' mind. Almost everything is symbolic. You do not have to read the Bible this way, but hey, I do.
In Exodus chapter three, Moses is meditating on the phenomena of God's goodness, Jethro -- what it is and why it is and what is God doing by it -- and in his ruminations Moses sees the mechanism* of it, the interplay by which it works. Gazing upon the mechanism by which Jethro comes into being, God breaks in to say "Hi" and to explain YHWH. Moses is in full-on vision.
Moses saw the faces of God: that of Abraham, that of Isaac, and that of Jacob. What he saw in these three faces was the whole of God working together. God is transcendent and is different things at different levels -- he is fully each of these faces and each is fully him. It is the symphonic oneness of it all that is the mind bending thing: God is everything, and everything is him. We are all one big being -- and we all work together by causative imagining.
This is the physics of metaphysics. God explained his revelation in the three faces to Moses: "I am causative imagining, Its manifesting" (Exodus 3: 14; my take on Alexander's notes). This was an invitation to Moses to get on board and to get with it, to consciously join God's mechanism and employ causative imagining unto manifesting God.
The invitation is extended to Israel. Remember, we are dealing with just one man, Moses. Jacob, Israel, Egypt and Pharaoh are all facets of Moses' own mentality. Getting on board is a bit tricky. Neville Goddard explains that when the spirit/consciousness of God annexes the human brain, it necessarily FORGETS what it is and assumes the ignorance of the human -- it thinks that it is the human. The Life-giving, living branch of God voluntarily (and very effectively) enters amnesia. Amnesia causes ignorance but not necessarily loss of power, so our "ignoranced" spirit resists giving up control as if it were God. Well, of course it is, but we think we are self-ruling apart from God. We do not cooperate with the whole. It is this ignorance we must overcome, hence all the wars in the Bible. All the bad guys are our own ignorance (it doesn't matter if the wars were actually historical: in the Bible they are representative -- they are all illustrative, symbolic).
The New Testament, by the way, is an explanation of all this. It starts in Mark, and is located -- all the characters are -- in your head.
Moses learned causative imagining. The extra work was the resistance of his ignorant spirit, and the plagues were God's effort to get him to submit. Try to be spiritual or get baptized in the Holy Spirit and you will see what I mean. God's "people," Israel, are Godly thoughts. Like Jacob's trip to Padan-aram and Sarah's return to youth to give birth to Isaac, all is Moses' mind trip (these are real things that happen in the mind!).
Back to Neville Goddard wanting to go to Barbados: Neville learned that to cause a first class trip to Barbados, he had to imagine the consequence of having had a first class trip to Barbados. Not he had to imagine having the trip, but having had the trip. He had to imagine the experience of the end, the consequence of the trip, what it would be like if he had had the trip. If he had had the first class voyage to Barbados, he would walk the streets of the island and sleep in his bed in his parents' house. To cause the journey there, Neville had to mentally move there, to BE in Barbados in his inner experience -- to think FROM there. His inner man's experience was in the island, even though his physical body was still in New York, which was in his mental experience thousands of miles to the northwest. Then the journey came about, because what the inner person had experienced in mental creation, the outer body had experience in manifestation. (This hasn't got squat to do with the "Law" of Attraction, which is presently being bandied about to deny the creative, deliberate consciousness of God and the manifestation of his person. Our reprobate, ignorant consciousness still rebelliously insists it is separate.)
Moses came to his own, personal Passover wherein his own, personal ignorance was overcome. In Exodus 11, Moses imagined "Egypt" plundered and the whole of him, Israel, dressed for the road and eating the lamb, the Manifestation we are, hurriedly and thoroughly. This was vividness and intense, emotional feeling of the mental experience. Moses imagined the consequential end of the overcoming of his ignorance, the uncharted territory of "unleavened bread." His experience with God was going to be something new, something not "leavened" by his present, ignorant worldview. What would the world be to him without the influence of ignorance? Becoming one with God's manifestation was going to be a completely new experience, the consequence of having been kicked out of this world. MOSES' MENTAL SEGUE, HIS MOVEMENT TO THIS NEW POTENTIAL, "KILLED" THE POTENTIAL OF HIS IGNORANCE. ALL ITS HEIRS, ITS POTENTIALS, WERE "SLAIN." They died and Moses was free to go.
Which brings us to the Passover Conspiracy. Moses taught you to do this. "To do what, the Passover?" No, to end your bondage to your ignorance-leavened present by moving your inner experience to the consequential unleavened end of your desire fulfilled. Oh, and go to sleep in that state. Moses ate dressed and ready to go, and at midnight was roused to get out of Dodge. On your knees you don't have time to change. It was in Adam's sleep that his rib, his creative power, became the mother of the Living. You do want to be living, don't you?
By these inner experiences you move to a new potential which destroys your old, leavened life. You perpetuate God's victory, if you have ever had it.
If you haven't had this victory in your life, it is time to get it. This is where the Messiah comes in. The Messiah is the perfect, complete, mature Manifestation of God you are destined to become. We are all destined to become him -- God manifest. We could not be the manifestation of God in the future if were not him now. This means he is already in us dreaming he is us. The Messiah "died" by forgetting what he is and giving up all that he had, in order to become our ignorant imaginations. His spirit is our life-giving, living consciousness -- he dumbed himself down to allow us to learn the kind of freedom the Father has. He, the Father, is the one we are manifesting.
In this life you have learned the freedom of individuality, but have you mistaken it for independence from God? Do you think you are separate, doing what ever you want? That attitude is rebellion. You need to undo the concept of being on your own, an independent person, for all the "faces" of God are one God. That includes you! There is no division or separation between God and yourself --we are all one thing -- we all belong to him because he became us all. Accept the lordship of the Messiah, who is the full Manifestation God intends us to become. Let him direct your life. God has imagined him risen and victorious, and that is the victory you shall have. This is what Genesis chapter one is all about: the creation there is imagic of the Paradise we are going to. This life is God's creative imagining at work becoming that manifestation in and through you.
*YHWH. I believe YHWH is the mechanism or action of God's becoming.
